New Target Coupon Book

I got this new booklet in the mail yesterday from Target and I thought I’d mention it. I have no idea if everyone will get these or not but it looks to me like the holiday toy catalog we saw in Nov and Dec. This one has an Easter theme and there are $70 in Target coupons inside.

With the toy booklets, Target sent them in the mail, had them in the Sunday paper and there were copies available to print online. Hopefully they are as generous with these books!

I didn’t get the booklet, at least not yet. If these are Target coupons, and not mfg coupons, then the leap frog one is great! On some boxes of Cheerios there is a $5 leap frog coupon, too! $10 off makes it a little more tempting.

Katrina- I get asked this every time I post a Target book. If I knew how to ensure people would get them I would have spilled the secret by now. As I said in the post- they are totally and completely random. I have no clue at all how Target decides to send out mailers. Some people think it is having a credit card, some think it is from registries, some think it is from pharmacy prescriptions- I honestly have not the foggiest idea at all. I have personally never done those things and I get the mailers all the time.

I haven’t gotten that one in the mail YET but I hope I get it soon 🙂 I always receive Target coupon booklets in my mail. I think I am on their mailing list because I signed up for a baby registry around 6yrs ago, plus my Target is within walking distance in my neighborhood so I think they send them out to the houses here.

So, I was curious so I stopped by my local Target (Sacramento, CA) and asked customer service about these books…they said most likely they are being sent to RedCard holders (Target credit cards) but she couldn’t be sure 🙁 She said they have not heard of nor seen any shipments of the booklets yet anyway to go out to the general public…darn 🙁 Maybe she was wrong (here’s hoping!). ~Angel~

I have never had a single credit card or red card or any other card with Target and it was addressed to me. Like I said. I would just sit tight and see what the mailman brings, watch the online printables and check your Sunday paper.

I have the Target Debit Card.. a Target Visa… and I have done the Target bridal and baby registerys and I have never recieved one of these coupon books, ALTHOUGH I WOULD LOVE TOO!!
🙁
I don’t know how they determine who gets one and who doesn’t!!

I didnt get the mailer and when I emailed Customer service, they told me they are mailed to a randomly generated mailing list…I have their Red Card and spend A LOT of money there (I have 3 kids in diapers still and I use target brand diapers) you’d think I’d qualify for a coupon mailer!!
Oh well…maybe next time!

Dina that is what I said 🙂 Sorry but I believe the coupon books are random and I have had lots and lots of people over the years try to get onto Target’s list and as far as I know no one has been successful by calling and asking.

At Target, we use a variety of methods for determining mailing lists. Here are a couple of easy things you can do to receive special offers from Target:

– Visit http://www.target.com and sign up for exclusive e-mail offers and news
– Apply for a REDCARD to receive special bill inserts or direct mail

Stacy, in my experience they won’t tell you how to get on the list. I promise that I have been trying to figure this out for years (literally) and there are theories that it has to do with registries, credit cards, pharmacy prescriptions etc.. I can tell you I was married 8 years ago and my youngest daughter is nearly 2- so the registry thing doesn’t make sense for me. I have never in my life filled a prescription at Target so that is out as well. I have never once applied for a credit card or the new Red Cards- again that is out. I have no idea what Take Charge is and have not been a part of that program. I do get emails from Target and they are almost always junk. So there is no real explanation for why we get the books on occasion and they are addressed to me.

For every person that tells you one thing, you will find 2 others that say the opposite. So I believe that the books are truly random. I believe that Target has a vested interest in encouraging you to register for their credit card 😉

I e-mailed Target about this and they told me if you sign up for their e-mails or apply for a credit card then you can get on the mailing list. The thing I don’t understand about that is: how do you get postal mail by joining the e-mail list when they don’t ask you for your mailing address at all? Who knows. I received one Target mailer after I created a baby registry with them, and then once more but never again. Sad.

Kylee- I try to tell people there is no way to get yourself on the list but maybe they think I am lying or I just don’t know anything? Beats me really. People have been trying to figure it out for years. There are theories but as I said, none of them are guaranteed. You are right- Target will of course tell you to get a credit card. They have a vested interest in getting people into credit cards and make a significant amount of money from that. Also, you are right. Signing up for emails is clearly not going to get you anything in the mail. So I will continue to tell people there is no way of assuring you get on the mailing list. 🙂

The tone of your response was a HUGE turn off. I just came across this thread googling about how to get Target mailers and found this page. I won’t be back, lots of other couponing sites to choose from. No ad clicks from me!

Well, my comment is awaiting moderation so I’m sure it won’t go live on your site. But I just wanted to let you know, tone can be perceived in different ways over the internet. Maybe try to find a way to sound a little nicer about it next time. Obviously that lady didn’t know. Since you get this question every time you post a target mailer, you should know to be prepared for it, so please consider having a nicer response next time.

Ok thanks for letting me know you don’t care for me Sarah and best of luck to you finding someone you like better. I guess I would encourage you to put yourself in someone else’s shoes before you make judgments 😉 Happy Googling and I hope no one comes to your office today to tell you how much they don’t care for you. It might not be the nicest thing to say to someone- but then again tone can be perceived differently can’t it? I am sure you didn’t mean to be rude.
